Knitted wire mesh is metallic or non-metallic wire knitted into a mesh structure in very much the same way as stockings or sweaters. Knitting produces a mesh of interlocking loops. These loops can move relative to each other in the same plane without distorting the mesh, giving knitted wire mesh a two-way stretch.

The knitted wire mesh can be made of mono-filament wires, which are widely used in the common applications for filtering and shielding. It can also be made of multi-filament wires, which has higher strength and can be used in the heavy duty applications.
